First Person Podcast: Selection at Auschwitz

Hi 9a and 9b,

This week you are going to listen to Martin Weiss' story from the concentration camp Auschwitz, recorded by the US Holocaust  Memorial Museum for the Podast First Person. 

1. How many people were put together per box car?

2. In what country was Auschwitz located?

3. The people were separated in two ways: Which ones?

4. What did Martin learn the morning after his arrival at Auschwitz?

In addition, think about the book we read now in English: The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Bruno, the main character, thinks he lives in Out-With which happens to be Auschwitz.
